    What's up with the other patterns at the top of the page (i.e. in the top of zingo's screenshot)?????????? The wood didn't bother me so much, but the other stuff looks like crap! Are we part of an experiment?

    How do I access the mobile version on my phone then?

    I've tried the mobile version in the past, and actually prefer the desktop version on my phone and tablet.

    Patrick,

    I've noticed that the site is running a bit slow. I also get these while the page loads. Sometimes you'll briefly catch a glimpse but page loads quick but when it does not...

    What a whinny group of people. I happen to like the look of the revised site. The instruments are a nice touch too since the purpose of buying speakers is to recreate the sound of them and this visual method is also used by other speaker makers in this business. The anechoic chamber shots looks like windows wallpaper background, it sucks. While I am not crazy about the new logo, the wife did like it and she said what it said to her was "I love Polk".

    I may be a little late to what looks like the complaint department but the System showcase is up and running fine on my end now when using the main page. Just an FYI, if it hasn't been posted anywhere yet.

    My apologies, Steve. Please allow me to add more information to the last post, if you will. Go to Polk's main web page and hit the forum tab, then scroll down and select System Showcase.

    Wow! I havent been on here in a few weeks and look what you guys have done to it. LOL!

    I actually kinda like the wood grain for some reason. Guess its just something different. Not crazy about the new logo though.

    I'm at work, it's standard issue. Normally I hate IE, but not much I can do, some of our programs only run on IE.

    I'm having trouble replicating this on my end, can you take a screen shot?

    also, ANYONE with IE8, I've been told that the phone number wraps on top of the social media icon/circles at the top header on the homepage. Can anyone confirm/deny? Everything looks find on my end w IE8. Thank you!

    I use the regular web version on my iPad. It doesn't center correctly, but it looks better than the mobile version.

    Also, I really wish they would remove the link to the "What are you listening to" thread from the main page. It looks tacky since it is bascially the same people using the thread. Keep it in the forum, but don't embarass Polk with it on the main page.

    Awesome, thank you! Its good to know I'm not crazy.

    If you guys want the What are you listening to thread removed from the home page you'll have to talk to Al, he's in charge of those types of decisions.
